Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Artifact Forger and Red Rhino (2nd Update, Please Collect)
Editor: Atlas Studios
“Don’t ntion it, please enjoy.”
Tang Qi placed a portion of breakfast in front of Stanna, then said.
Her mature and considerate deanor almost made Stanna believe she was in the presence of a gentleman her age, and it took a mont for her to realize that there were no peers of hers here, only a high school student with a sowhat nasty character, though he did seem quite the young gentleman at the mont.
Stanna stole a glance at Tang Qi and then started her al cheerfully.
This was breakfast personally prepared by a “Mysterious Side” individual; it had to taste unique.
That’s what Stanna thought in her heart.
And indeed, the flavors that burst forth in her mouth did not disappoint her anticipation.
Although Tang Qi’s cooking didn’t reach the level of glowing dishes or bursting garnts, the culinary skills he brought from Previous Earth allowed his cooking to surpass many on Origin Blue Star. If it weren’t for the existence of the Mysterious Side, Tang Qi could even consider opening a specialty restaurant.
Chef and owner, not a bad profession at all.
Tang Qi quickly finished his own breakfast and then looked sowhat surprised at Stanna who was eating gracefully. Her elegant manner and tasteful, though not expensive, outfit suggested that this striking police chief ca from a decent background.
Pondering silently, Tang Qi wiped the corner of his mouth and said, “Wait a mont,” before going upstairs.
When he ca back down, he placed a wooden box in front of Stanna.
Opened, there lay a total of twelve bullets inside.
Most of them were Molten Furnace Bullets, emitting a faint red glow, totaling eight.
And four bullets shimring with a deep blue luster were Sea Demon Bullets.
Tang Qi explained the effects while also giving the reasons for the different quantities of the two types of bullets.
In terms of power, the Molten Furnace Bullets were stronger.
And the Sea Demon Bullets were more about lifting curses.
Used in combination, they could elevate Stanna’s combat abilities from those of an ordinary person to within the Transcendent range.
And quite the formidable kind at that.
A regular detective was almost powerless against Extraordinary Creatures.
But Stanna posed a terrifying threat.
For lower-level Transcendent beings like Blank Dog-faced Man, Corpse-eating Nightingale, and Spider Demon, if they weren’t planning a sneak attack, they simply couldn’t withstand a few shots from Stanna.
“Use them sparingly; I can’t supply them endlessly.”
Tang Qi specifically added this, fearing Stanna might get overly excited with the Extraordinary Bullets.
In fact, aside from the Sea Demon Bullets decreasing in number with each use, Tang Qi could indeed continue to replenish the Molten Furnace Bullets.
After all, made from his own blood, he’d face no pressure as long as he wasn’t supplying an entire special agent team.
And as compensation, Tang Qi could leverage official power and also harvest the spoils of war at the first opportunity, with sser Police Station only picking up what was left, making it an exceedingly fair trade.
Stanna was indeed excited to receive the bullets, but couldn’t help asking a question, looking very serious, “Shouldn’t Extraordinary Bullets be fired from an Extraordinary Gun to maximize their effectiveness?”
“That’s true, but…”
Tang Qi was about to continue when he saw Stanna suddenly act bashfully, seeming a bit embarrassed, but still she reached into her bosom to pull out a large object and placed it on the table with a snap.
A voice full of charm and magnetism sounded at that mont.
“Mr. Advisor, this is my treasured object; can you transform it as well?”
“I can offer compensation that will satisfy you.”
Even without relying on his keen perception, Tang Qi could feel Stanna’s anticipation and her slightly mischievous mindset.
At the sa ti, he was also speechless.
Right there on the table, Stanna’s so-called treasured object was an extravagant handgun whose design sparred no effort in competing with Blood Python One.
Tang Qi knew from that crude and wild style alone.
The pistol nad “Red Rhino” definitely ca from the Monster Gun Company.
This was why their bullets could be used interchangeably – the sa company, the sa caliber.
“No wonder they went bankrupt. Going all out producing these pistols that normal people simply couldn’t use, oh no, they should be called hand cannons. How on earth were they supposed to make money? It would be weirder if they didn’t disband.”
Tang Qi silently complained in his heart, then glanced over at the Red Rhino.
Decisively, he refused: “I regret to say I can’t.”
“The transformation of bullets is a very simple power I possess. In fact, anyone who has a slight grasp of mysterious abilities can do the sa. The only difference is in the power of the modified bullet.”
“But firearms are too complicated. I can’t manage that. That’s probably a skill for Artifact Forgers.”
After hearing Tang Qi’s explanation, although disappointed, Stanna nevertheless put away the Red Rhino.
She elegantly yet swiftly finished breakfast, and then the two left Saint Thorn High School, got into the police car, and headed straight to the borderland at the intersection of Blank District and Central District.
That’s where the sser Police Station was.
A building with an air of classic grandeur, nestled between two major districts. To the right was the bustling Central District, and to the left was the dirty, backward Blank District – a stark and intriguing contrast wrapped up in this one structure.
Under Stanna’s guidance, Tang Qi smoothly joined the force, filled out his paperwork, and received his own badge, ID, and weapon — a police pistol with very little firepower.
Indeed, an ordinary police pistol.
Not everyone had the privilege or ability to keep the peace with a “Red Rhino.”
Fortunately, Tang Qi wasn’t picky. No matter how weak a pistol’s firepower, it’s still a gun, isn’t it?
Inside the police station, the atmosphere was as Tang Qi had anticipated: bustling and tense. Whether in the lobby, the office area, the interrogation room, the corridors, or even the elevators, the passing police officers, the criminals being escorted… together, they ford a stern and serious scene that made one instinctively put on a grave face.
Luckily, upon reaching the area of Stanna’s homicide unit, the atmosphere wasn’t so lively or tense anymore.
Upon entering the area, the two imdiately felt several gazes of “whoosh whoosh whoosh” flying over.
Stanna’s subordinates: a white detective who seed to like wearing sweaters, a black man with a broad white smile and slightly curly hair, and what seed to be an old predecessor who always maintained a cheery deanor.
There were also two won: one with such a curvaceous figure that she was relegated to doing clerical work in the back, a brunette bombshell in professional attire, her walk so wobbly that one feared she’d fall at any mont, face forward. The other was a black woman with ordinary looks and a gentle temperant, a forensic specialist.
As for the addition of Tang Qi, the “Special Advisor,” the team expressed their welco, especially when they realized that Stanna, the formidable and beautiful police chief of sser Police Station, who everyone feared, did not seem to have much authority over Tang Qi, but actually seed to be trying to please him.
The mood suddenly ward, and everyone extended their welcos even more, starting to pry with various sideways questions, trying to guess the nature of the relationship and reasons behind it.
Clearly, unlike Stanna, they had not yet been exposed to that world.
This team also seed to have been recently assembled.
The reason was simple. Their predecessors, Stanna’s forr subordinates, had all died in an accidental incident… a wail of a Manatee Sea Demon.
“Once more I’ll witness the expressions of the ordinary people upon encountering the mysterious side, it must be interesting.”
While Tang Qi chatted and laughed with everyone, part of him felt sowhat malicious.
Just when he was wondering if he had beco a bit nasty, his jinx seed to kick in again.
“Click~”
“Huff huff huff huff”
Suddenly the elevator opened, and a black policeman hurried out, seemingly in a rush, his breathing hurried. He spotted the team and made a beeline toward them.
Tang Qi’s gaze drifted over, imdiately sensing the officer’s emotions.
Fear!
A strong sense of fear!
“Sothing has happened!”
Tang Qi thought, saying nothing.
